Wall-coating composition.



UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

FRANKLINAD. HAGARQOF BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, ASSIGNOR TO LIQUID WALL PAPER COMPANY, OF BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, A CORPORATION OF MASSACHUSETTS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 16, 1906.

Application filed December 11, 1905. Serial No. 291,198.

Boston, in the county of Sufiolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Wall-Coatmg Compositions, of which the following is a specification, referencev being had therein to t e accompanying drawings.

This invention has for its object the production of a new composition for Wall and ceiling coverings by bringing together certain substances well known in chemistry, as hereinafter described, the substances when combined forming awall-coating composition in. the form of liquid wallaper so that after the same has been applie to anddried upon the wall it has the appearance of Wall-paper. I am aware that flour, alum, flock, and water have been used together to form a wallcoating composition, as shown in United States Letters Patent No. 796,604; but I am not aware that any of the otheringredients have been used together for this purpose or for any other purpose.

My composition consists of the following ingredients. combined in the proportions stated-viz, gum-tragacanth, six gills; chromic oxid, (chromegreen. (Cr,O nine ounces; chromate of lead, (chrome-yellow) (PbCrO,,,) nine ounces; flock, two pounds meal, nine ounces; bran, three ounces; sawdust, three ounces; straw, three ounces;

bronze powder, two ounces; whiting, one' pound; rosin, six gills; mica, three pounds; pulp, two pounds; ground silk,'one pound; varnish, three table-spoonfuls; pulverized cork, three ounces; formaldehyde, (H,CO,) three drops; glue, two table-spoonfuls; brown sugar, six ounces; water, (H,O,) one gallon. In carrying out my invention I first take the gum-tragacanth, chromic oxid, chromate of lead, flock, whiting, pulp, and ground silk and mix the same with a little water. Then I take the meal (rye or cats will be found preferable) and mix with the bran, sawdust, straw, bronze, rosin, mica, varnish, pulverized cork, glue, and brown sugar. If desired, boiling water may be applied, and the same should be thoroughly mingled by agitation, after which, if the same is to be kept for several days before using, apply the formaldehyde to this paste and thoroughly stir.

The combination of these ingredients forms adhesive mixtures suitable to be applied upon the walls direct and can be properly termed a liquid wall-paper, as the same is applied to the walls or ceilings in a liquid or paste form with a brush or trowel and when dried forms a wall-paper free from seams. When properly mixed and applied it will not fade or crack, no seams, laps, or jointswill show, and it can be quickly repaired without showing the repair-work.

The combination can be ejected or squirted upon the wall or ceilin or can be hand-' ressed upon or applied y machinery, and, if desired, the flock need not be combined with the other ingredients, but may be blown upon the wall after the application of the combination of other ingredients.

A great many difierent effects can be obtained by the different combinations mentioned in this application by the different methods of apphcation to wall as aforementioned, and smooth or rough or silky effects can be obtained. The paste mixture is very desirable for design, free-hand, relief, tile, or stucco work, and it is free from smell, nonpoisonous, and non-combustible.

What I claim, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent of the UnitedStates, is-

- 1. The herein-described composition of matter, containing gum-tra acanth, chrome,
